The concept of providence is embedded in the life and theology of
the church. Its uses are frequent and varied in understandings of
politics, nature, and individual life-stories. Parallels can be
discerned in other faiths. In this volume, David Fergusson traces
the development of providential ideas at successive periods in
church history. These include the early appropriation of Stoic and
Platonic ideas, the codification of providence in the Middle Ages,
its foregrounding in Reformed theology, and its secular
applications in the modern era. Responses to the Lisbon earthquake
(1755) provide an instructive case study. Although confidence in
divine providence was shaken after 1914, several models were
advanced during the twentieth century. Drawing upon this diversity
of approaches, Fergusson offers a chastened but constructive
account for the contemporary church. Arguing for a polyphonic
approach, he aims to distribute providence across all three
articles of the faith.
